Pave adds Levels.fyi pay data to its Pave Agent and Market Pricing tools

What the alliance covers

According to the announcement, Pave customers can use Levels.fyi data to compare pay for a role across sources, benchmark against real-time Market Data, and price jobs and build competitive pay ranges. They can analyze the Levels.fyi figures next to their own compensation data and any other sources they choose to use.

Pave Agent can use Levels.fyi data as a reference input. Teams can ask a question in plain language and see the answer across Levels.fyi, their other sources, and real-time intelligence from 9,000-plus companies in Pave's dataset, according to Pave.

The alliance builds on Pave's existing partnerships with The Croner Company, Korn Ferry, WTW, and others. Pave says it will keep expanding its network of data partners so compensation teams do not have to stitch sources together by hand or choose between the ones they trust.

What Levels.fyi brings

Levels.fyi is a compensation data platform that shows what work pays by company, level, location, and skill. Its data is contributed directly by the people earning it and backed by proof documents such as offer letters, W-2s, and pay stubs. Pave says this gives compensation teams a view of what talent is actually earning, alongside survey and real-time views.

Levels.fyi reports 1M+ compensation data points, 2,100+ companies with fresh data, and 8,500+ company job ladders mapped. It says more than 3M professionals use the platform every month.

Use cases for mutual clients

Pave lists several things that mutual clients can now do:

• Ask Pave Agent to compare pay for a role across Levels.fyi, WTW, Korn Ferry, Croner, and Pave's real-time Market Data, all within one platform.
• See self-reported Levels.fyi data next to survey and real-time benchmarks to understand where the market views agree and where they diverge.
• Analyze Levels.fyi data alongside their own compensation data to see where their pay stands.
• Give every analyst on the comp team, not just the person who manages the survey license, direct access to Levels.fyi data in their daily workflow.

Comments from both companies

Pave CEO Matt Schulman said that "no single source tells the whole story." He added that Pave's goal is to be the central source for the data compensation teams use, with real-time intelligence from 9,000-plus companies as the foundation. "Clients shouldn't have to choose between the data sources they trust," he said.

Levels.fyi co-founder Zuhayeer Musa said the data gives customers a current, company-level view of the market. According to Musa, bringing it into Pave lets teams build the peer groups that matter to them, focus on a single competitor, and combine Levels.fyi's intelligence with the rest of their stack.

Availability and what it means

Levels.fyi data is now available to mutual customers through Pave Agent and Pave's Market Pricing tool. Existing customers can contact their account teams for access and availability details. The announcement does not give pricing.

For compensation teams, the change means another benchmark source can sit in the same workspace as survey data and a company's own figures. Pave's platform also covers Market Data benchmarking, Compensation Planning, Total Rewards, Team View, and Visual Offer Letters, according to the company.
